WILLIS INSOLVENCY & RECONSTRUCTION
The OpenCover Facility (“OpenCover”) underpins our risk and insurance approach to insolvency engagements and is the leading solution in the marketplace. Established in the early 1990s as the pioneer risk solution for the insolvency sector, OpenCover remains the broadest insolvency insurance facility available.
Comprised of an extensive suite of policies most relevant to a standard insolvency engagement, OpenCover provides a 30 day window from your date of appointment. This enables us to work with you to qualify and quantify risks (e.g. assets, trading liabilities) for any given engagement.
During this period our team will work with you to assess the needs of the engagement from a risk exposure perspective, providing recommendations that are both commercial and that consider your engagement strategy. Note that cover is in place from the moment that you are appointed, even before Willis is notified of the appointment.
The OpenCover Facility is continuously reviewed and enhanced in response to shifts in the insolvency landscape. As such, you can be confident that insurance is being taken care of by Willis from day one, allowing you to focus on the key challenges of each engagement.
Our cross-disciplinary approach ensures that all areas of Willis’ expertise are available to you. In addition to our core insolvency offering, other services include:
�� Workplace Health and Safety
�� Workers Compensation
�� Property Loss Prevention and Risk Improvement Services
�� Divestment Assistance Services
�- Vendor Due Diligence – Insurance / Risk Management Due Diligence reports for data rooms
�- Transaction Solutions – Warranties and Indemnities, Tax Liability, other contingencies
We understand that insolvency is a specialised sector. This is why Willis’ Insolvency & Reconstruction team (“I&R”) is comprised of highly skilled and experienced professionals, 100% dedicated to insolvency. With a team situated in each mainland state of Australia as well as New Zealand, we are able to respond to your needs in an efficient and effective manner – we can be where you need us to be, when you need us to be.

We also use standard reports which summarise your risk and insurance position and outstanding action items at key points in time.
We complement these protocols with regular reporting for your senior management team, training sessions, discussion forums and technology solutions where appropriate.
